You also have to take into account that a 6-hour day of poker is more equivalent to an 8-hour workday at a real job. Not many people sit down at 6pm, instantly start running 4-(6,8,whatver)tables, and quit right at 12am and call it a 6-hour day. When you take into account breaks, posting hands/reading hands, database maintenance, withdrawal/deposit/bonus overhead, you are really working an 8-9 hour day when you work 6 hours.

This is part of the common mistake that pro-hopefuls make when they look at their hourly earn and try to multiply that out by 40-50 hour workweeks.
